Farmer's test

[Zeus2020]

I live with my partner for the last 25 years. When calculating figures for the farmer's test do I only use half the value of my primary residence as he is entitled to the other half?

Do Revenue accept the house is jointly owned by 2 people or do I need proof?

Thanks for any replies received.

Your post would be easier to comprehend if it used conventional formatting like punctuation marks and capital letters. That in turn could help in getting you more helpful answers.

Any help here?

General answer: If you're looking from a tax concession of any type from Revenue then it's always advisable to have proof to support your claim.

Does your partner in fact own half the house? Or are you just assuming that he is entitled to it because he has lived there with you for 25 years?

If you are the sole registered owner at the valuation date, you include the full value.

It sounds to me that you need proper professional advice, probably urgently.
